About The Den Theatre

The Den is home to The Hypocrites, one of Chicago’s highly praised and innovative storefront theater companies.
Artistic Director Sean Graney created The Hypocrites in 1997. The company is currently run by Graney and Executive Director Kelli Strickland. One of Chicago’s premier off-Loop theater companies, The Hypocrites specializes in mounting bold productions that challenge preconceptions and redefining the role of the audience. The company has a reputation in Chicago for creating exciting, surprising, and deeply engaging theater as it re-interprets classics and tackles ambitious new works.
In 2014, The Hypocrites made a splash with All Our Tragic, an innovative 12 hour show, which combines all 32 Greek tragedies, the work of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, into a single epic narrative that spans over 75 years.
